Face to Face is a punk rock band from Victorville, California, formed in 1991 by frontman Trever Keith, bassist Matt Riddle and drummer Rob Kurth. The band rose to fame with their 1995 album Big Choice, featuring the radio hit "Disconnected" which received heavy rotation on KROQ radio in Los Angeles and appeared in the movies Tank Girl and National Lampoon's Senior Trip.[3]

Face to Face officially split up in September 2004, allowing the band members time to focus on other projects.[3] During that time all the band members played in a number of post-Face to Face projects including Legion of Doom, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, The Offspring and Saves the Day.[4] In April 2008, after a four-year hiatus, Face to Face performed together for the first time at The Glasshouse in Pomona, California.[3][5] Since then, the band has continued to perform and has released five more studio albums to date.
